- Add CPU-PMU support for Intel Sapphire Rapids CPUs
- Extend the perf ABI with PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, to offer two-parameter
sampling event feedback. Not used yet, but is intended for Golden Cove
CPU-PMU, which can provide both the instruction latency and the cache
latency information for memory profiling events.
- Remove experimental, default-disabled perfmon-v4 counter_freezing support
that could only be enabled via a boot option. The hardware is hopelessly
broken, we'd like to make sure nobody starts relying on this, as it would
only end in tears.
- Fix energy/power events on Intel SPR platforms
- Simplify the uprobes resume_execution() logic
- Misc smaller fixes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
